Incognito Declares DOCSIS 3.0 Support
Software upgrade paves way for new services

Incognito Software, a Vancouver-based provider of "provisioning" software that cable operators such as Insight and Cox use to manage broadband devices such as cable modems, says that its Broadband Command Center 5.5 product now supports CableLab's DOCSIS 3.0 standard.
The Broadband Command Center 5.5 dynamically generates configuration files for DOCSIS 3.0 modems, which are capable of increased transmission speeds both upstream and downstream and which support Internet Protocol version 6.0. Cable operators started deploying the new modems about a year ago. Additional functionalities of Broadband Command Center 5.5 includes the management of SIP endpoints, including IP Phones, Multimedia Terminal Adapters (MTAs), Analog Telephone Adapters (ATAs), set-top boxes and residential gateways.
According to Chris Busch, Incognito's VP of Broadband Technology, cable operators are now rolling out DOSCIS 3.0 devices to new high-speed data customers even if they are signing up for the slowest broadband connection speeds. By doing so, they are future-proofing those customers for faster speeds and new IP services down the road.
"Getting a DOSCIS 3.0 modem in their hands now means they don't need to revisit them if they want 10- or 20-megabit service in the future," says Busch.
